Like all military personnel in the US, they can retire from military service after there first enlistment is over. The standard enlistment is 4 years, but sometimes the first one can be 6 years depending on the branch/career chosen. For the Marines it's generally 4 years. Military Service men and women can re-enlist and if they stay in the Military for 20 years earn a full government pension.
Yes, there are pay differences based on the branch of the US military you enlist into. Each branch has its own pay scale and salary structure. However, the basic pay is determined by rank and years of service, so individuals with the same rank and years of service will generally receive the same pay regardless of branch.
The oldest military service is the Army, with its origins dating back thousands of years. The youngest military service is the Space Force, established in December 2019 as a branch of the United States Armed Forces to conduct operations in outer space.
Any branch of the US military. You get paid to go to flight school. Current minimum commitment to the service is about 10 years.
I am 60 years old with 18 good years of military service and i would like to know if i will be able to get any retirement?
Need to know which branch of service as the codes are different, Officers codes are different from enlisted. Also codes do change over the years as the equipment changes.
The four years at the academy are not used in calculating your retirement pay from the military. However, if you were to enter civil service and were to retire from that career, then your civil service pension would count your four years at the academy, plus your active duty military time, plus your time as a civil servant. Correction: military service time does not count towards a civil service retirement benefit. You must "buy into" the federal retirement program based on your years of military service. This is not cheap.
